1.2 15/7

Discussing our research from the previous day with other people was good to solidify the findings.
A lot of people seemed to have seen heaps of people using social media and technology excessively.

Debate:
The debate was really good fun and extremely helpful. I was arguing for social media, social media is social. This is the topic i was probably going to choose anyway and looking further into it through the debate made me passionate about the subject.
Our team managed to win the debate with some pretty great points.

After class i started some research on studies to do with social media, I am thinking of focussing on how social media is an enhancement to our everyday life. Social media is part of life rather than a separate life. I took notes in my workbook and these are some of the websites i went to:
